Spring Break 2017

Yes, you read that correctly. This is my SPRING break 2017 post... not my summer post. Thats how far behind I am. But so be it. Here is what we did back in March over Spring Break!

Chuck E. Cheese's

It's where a kid can be a kid!! And besides... the weather was awful so we had to stay indoors. And the kids absolutely LOVED it!! 

We went and saw Beauty and the Beast! I loved it!

The weather finally complied at the end of the week and we went to the beach on Saturday. 

I couldn't resist this picture of Benny. He insisted he wear his floatie around the house... obviously he loves swimming. 

What the boy loves most.... fishing.

Okay, so this wasn't quite Spring Break... this was after Spring Break actually, and I took Benny and a couple neighboorhood friends and met another friend down at Wild Florida!

And it's always fun to load the kids up after school and hit Disney. We actually never made it into the park... we decided to try out the pools at the Grand Floridian and it was just as fun!

That's a really big smile on my Boo Bear!!

Our Sweet Sandy

We lost our sweet Sandy girl in March. St. Patrick's Day to be exact. Her health had been slowly declining... she had lost a lot of weight and had started coughing a lot and breathing in her belly. The vet ruled out as much as she could with various blood tests and did say her heart wasn't sounding right (and her breathing was definitely not normal) and rather than doing more costly testing (she was about 14 years old) we decided to treat her symptoms and just to enjoy her as long as we could! 

When she got to a point that we felt she was suffering we let her go to doggie heaven. She certainly was a heavenly pet and we loved her and miss her!!! We spent our last few days with her giving her lots of love, taking lots of pictures, covering her with our beloved blankies and enjoying the good, sweet, loyal dog that she was. We had a little service for her... the kids made her cards that they left with her and we each said what we loved about her and buried her near Pico and Cocoa. 

We'll see you again in heaven someday Sir-Sandernights!!
